GENERAL COMPLAINT.
That Railroads Charge Too Much
For Carving Small Parcels,

y
The railroad commissioners have is
sued a letter calling the attention of the
railroads to the numerous complaints
against the tariff on small packages
provided by the Joint Western CIassifi-
cation. The commission summons them
and all interested parties to appear be-
fore them on Sept. Z for hearing. In
their letter the commissioners say:
Gentlemen: This commission is in receipt
of numerous complaints, and from almost
every section of the state, that the adoption
by the railroad companies of the provisions
of the Joint Western Classification which
provided: 1.-The minimum charge shall be
second class rates for 90 pounds (but in II o
case shall the charge be less than % centS,'
works a great hardship upon parties who
find il necessary or convenient to order or
receive small packages over the roads as
freight, and the complainants urgently petit
ton that the classification and rates generally
in vogue on such packages on the railways
before the recent change be restored.
We interpret subdivision e, of section 8, of
chapter 10 of the general laws of 1897, to
authorize the commission to change or
modify, on its own motion and without no
tice or hearing, "any part of the tariff of
rates, fares, charges or classification of any
railroad doing business in the state when
ever it finds them to be ''in any respect IN
equal or unreasonable; But as the rule
complained of has been adopted and in use
by all railroads, we think it best that they be
heard, if they SO desire, as well as other in
terested parties, before any further action be
taken i'll the premises.

Got Big Bags of Game.

Railroad magnates were plentiful
about the Ryan yesterday, among those
in the rotunda on different occasions
being MeSsrs. Albert Keep and Mason
Hewitt, of the Chicago & Northwestern;
James P. Mcknight. of the Northern
Pacific, and Col. j. E. Broadwater, of
the Manitoba. Their presence in st.
Paul at this time was stated to have no
particular significance, but merely
coincidence, the gentlemen
named being homeward bound
after short vacation from
business cares. Messrs. J. r. Metcalf
and Samuel Thorn. of New York, ac-
companied by William Thorn, of this
city, who were members of a hunting
party organized by j. J. Hill, of the
Manitoba, returned to st. Paul yester-
day, after a successful foray in quest of
prairie chickens and reported the trip a
most enjoyable one with big bags of
game for all the participants.

THE CAUSE OF DIRTY WHEAT

Inspector James Explains the
Need of Strict "Dockage"
Rule.
The new rule regulating dockage of
wheat is considered a most important
one said Chief Grain Inspector James
yesterday. Especially is this true this
year. when wheat is coming in in a
much more dirty condition than it has
for years. 1t is found that the dockage
this year is from five to fifteen pounds
per bushel. and you can easily see that
with this amount of dirt in it the dock
age question is one of a good deal of I'M
efs.'' ~ Wv '''- -'''-' '''i'' 'ii' i"' Iii
-,sWhat is the cause of the large guam
THY of dirt?" asked a GLOBE reporter
who heard the remark of he chief in
Spect0r.
There are several causes" was the
reply. LIN the first place many of the
farmers did their blowing late last fall,
and there was not time after blowing
for the weeds to get enough of a start,
50 the cold weather killed them off, but
the seed lay in the soil unaffected by
the frost until spring, and so there was
good crop of them this summer.
Another reason is that the straw was
shorter than usual this year, and in
reaping it it the farmers set their ma
chimes to cut nearer the ground than
they usually do, and so good
part of the crop of weeds
got mixed up in the wheat
and went through the thresher with
it. This fact and the fact that the
threSher men have been disposed to
take advantage of it, is the principal
cause of the dirty wheat. In many
cases apparently the owners of threSh-
erS have removed the sieve, that would
have winnowed out much of the dirt,
and allowed the dirt to go in with the
wheat. They are paid by the bushel
and of course if there are from five to
fifteen pounds of dirt and seed in the
wheat their profits are greater. 1t is
also probable that the farmers were
not careful enough in getting clean
seed wheat, and this has contributed a
little to make dirty crop this year.
Mr.. James said that there had been
no requests from farmers or elevator
men for change in the definition OF
the grades of wheat, so far as he knew,
though some of the Minneapolis grain
dealers had put in petitions for more
grades. This being the case, it had
been thought best to leave the old def.
nitiOns unchanged. They were compre.
hensive enough, and all the wheat
grown could be classified under one OF
the six grades.

The owner of several fine specimens

the wear and tear it caused to horses

horses that were exercised on it were Sc

it out that considerable number of in

rectly to sharp spins over the Summit

Mai. Strait Will Rest.

Hon. ii. B. Strait, of Shakopee, re-
turned to his home yesterday after
spending several days in st. Paul and
vicinity looking after business interests,
He said he had abandoned the idea Of
establishing new banking institution
at Branchville, Mimi, for the reason
that there was a defect in the title to
the site upon which it was proposed to
build the bank. He would rest content
for the present, at least, with his active
interest in other financial institutions
throughout the state, and would take a
rest from politics for awhile.

Thanks to the Globes Expose of
the Character Of His False Ac-
cuser.
Since the GLOBES expose of the real
identity of Mrs. Rinehart, the woman
who had William Lynch arrested for at
tempting to rape her in her house, at $50
East Seventh street, the case has taken
an entirely different coloring, and it is
now settled fact that Lynch will be
released without prosecution. Detec--
tive Dan O'Connor, who identified the
woman as the notorious Emma Brown,
eX-conyict and prostitute, was deputy
sheriff at the time she was
lying in the county Jail
awaiting trial for robbing
a sister servant girl and recognized his
old prisoner without moments hesita-
ton. Emma kept herself out of sight
yesterday, but she will be brought be-
police court, this morning,
and when County Attorney Eagan is
fully assured, he will move the dis
ch arge of William Lynch, who now Ian
cuisines in Emma's old cell at the
county jail.

Signor A. A. Jannotta, as jaunty as
ever, and in his accustomed faultless at
tire, returned to St. Paul yesterday
from the East and has taken apartments
for the winter at the Ryan. In CONVEX
sation with a reporter of the GLOBE last
evening, Signor Jannotta said that dur
ing the two months that he had been
absent from the Northwest he had not
neglected his new opera, ''Alidor."

land while in the metropolis l secured
Oscar Wiel, the we'll known playwright,
who will remodel and reconstruct the

conversed with ON the subject agreed
that the only defect in my opera was in
the libreltto, and if it were remdied there
is mo reason why it should not be sue
cessful. AS to my future intentions,
am undecided so far as the opera is
concerned, but | shall resume my
musical classes at an early day."

LOCAL OPTION IN DAWSON.

a Mitchell Attorney Says There VIII
be no Contest OF the Late Election.
81. c. Preston, of Mitchell, who is in
Ysnkton, enlightened the reporter on
prohibition affairs in Dawson county,
IN o short conversation last evening,
touching upon other matters of current
importance before he had finished. It
will be remembered that local option
carried Dawson county by . majority of
seven votes only and shortly after the
election it was announced that the cleo.
tion would be contested on the ground
that che county clerk had failed to COM
ply with the law regarding the puslica.
sion OF election notices. MIR. Preston
says that although there may have been
grounds for q contest and that an in
junction served upon the canvasaing
board before the counting OF the vote
would have temporarily stopped the
canvass, an attempt to stop She CANVASS
and to prove the election void would
have been 81 action to offend many Of
the best people in Dawson county who
had cast ballots On the question he
says a request was made OF the canvass-
ing board for > delay Of Q few days in
the vi in order to allow an examin-
alton into the matter, but the board son
tanned two or more st.unch prohibitions
lists and they would not allow a delay.
